I was excited to see a vegetarian option in the lineup! The flavor of this meal is so complex that it definitely doesn't feel like a backpacking meal. It has a smoky flavor that was a bit strong for my palate but it rehydrated well. I'd love to see more vegetarian varieties added, maybe like a Chana Masala, because everything from this lineup is beyond standards!
As a vegetarian, it can be difficult to find tasty backpacking meals that don't include meat. So when I saw this one I was super excited to try. Its rich and creamy with tons of flavor to the point where I forgot I was even eating a backpacking meal. Definitely going to purchase again.
After a long day on the trail, a hot, filling meal is exactly what you need, and Bowl & Kettle’s Mexican Street Corn Grits delivers. This isn’t your typical bland backcountry meal—this dish packs big, bold flavors while still being lightweight and easy to prepare.
The fire-roasted poblanos and grilled esquites (Mexican street corn) bring a smoky-sweet kick, while the cotija cheese, ancho chili, and cilantro add the perfect balance of creaminess and spice. The herb-crusted mushrooms and tomatoes round it out, making every bite taste fresh and well-seasoned. Plus, the cheesy, buttery grits are super comforting, making this meal feel like trail comfort food done right.
The flavors are authentic and bold, and it’s super satisfying after a long trek. Definitely a new favorite for my backpacking meal rotation!
I had this and the Crawfish one while I was on the Colorado Trail! It was the perfect dinner after hiking all day. The ingredients mix really well together and dehydrated quicker than I thought it would. Would definitely purchase again! And I love that it is made by Thru hikers! As a thru hiker myself I love supporting other thru hikers! Can't wait to bring some along on my next adventure!
This was perfect! I couldn't believe that rehydrated tomatoes could be so flavorful. We enjoyed our Bowl & Kettle from the Taipei airport during a layover to SE Asia. It was 10000% better than our airplane food and I can't wait to try it on a hike next time!
